Application Process

Can I apply for more than one position?

Once you have created an account, you can use your information to apply for as many jobs as you like. Simply review the job description and click the Apply On-Line link. If prompted, log in using the e-mail address and password you specified when you created your account. Many pages of the application will be filled in with your existing account information. You may feel free to make any updates or adjustments to this information and those changes will be saved to your account for future use. Be sure to click through to the end as some jobs may require additional information that had not previously been required. Complete the application as thoroughly as possible to prevent any delays in processing. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from Safelite AutoGlass upon receipt of you application.

Why do you need my social security number?

Your social security number is used as your unique identifier. In the event you have been employed by Safelite in the past, this will help us identify your records quickly and accurately. Safelite.com is a secure website and your information will never be shared with third parties.

Can I check the status of my application?

After logging in, click on the "View Submitted Applications" link on the left hand side of the page. Each application is displayed along with the status of the application. One of the following statuses will appear:

Received: The application has been received, but not yet reviewed.In Process: The candidate is being considered for a position.Position Filled: The position has been filled with another candidate.Position Cancelled: The position has been cancelled.Application Process Complete: The offer has been declined or withdrawn.

Should I copy and paste or upload my resume?

It is beneficial, but not required, to both copy and paste your resume and upload your resume with any supporting documents. This allows the hiring manager to review your skills and qualifications for the position and assists in the hiring process.

How will I know if my application has been submitted?

When your application is submitted, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with the subject line "Safelite AutoGlass has received your application!" and will include your name and the position for which you applied.

I received an e-mail asking me to provide additional information to Validex authorizing a background screen and drug test. For what is this information used?

This information is used to process your background check in the event an offer is made. If an offer is not extended, this information will be stored in a confidential database housed by Validex. Safelite AutoGlass will not have access to this information at any time during the hiring process.

Who is Validex?

Validex is a secure third party administrator that partners with Safelite AutoGlass to administer and complete background checks and drug screens. Validex will only proceed with the background check in the event an offer is made to the candidate. In addition, they are prohibited from sharing confidential information about the candidate with Safelite AutoGlass until an offer is made.

How long until I hear if I'm selected for an interview?

We attempt to fill all jobs as quickly as possible. Some jobs are open continuously and are filled on an as-needed basis. Once a position has been filled, it will be removed from the website. You can help by ensuring that your application has been filled out accurately and as completely as possible. Please be sure to keep your contact information current.

How will I know if I'm selected for an interview?

If your skills and qualifications meet the job requirements and you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted directly by the manager or recruiter hiring for that position. Due to a high volume of applicants, we are unable to reach out to everyone.

What if I didn't mean to apply to a job or applied to the wrong job?

You may apply for the correct position by logging in with your username and password and applying to another position.

I only see ten openings. How do I navigate through all available jobs?

The default view of the "Browse Open Jobs" page only shows the first ten open jobs. To see more available jobs, use the First, Previous, Next and Last navigation arrows just below the last listing on the page. These will take you forward and back through the complete listing.

To search for a specific job, click the "Search Open Jobs" link on the left hand side of the page. You may enter as much or as little search criteria as necessary to define your search.
